Okay, great! I knew I needed a towel, but couldn't remember in which order I needed to use it... if that makes sense at all?!

You can use a damp towel and exchange the scent between them all by rubbing each gentley with the towel and then rubbing each of the others.

Vader does this with my other two. I think they must smell of vets! He normally settles down after a few hours though. Be patient and I'm sure it'll be fine.

Aggression in kittens after vet visit

Hi,

I have 4 kittens living with me at the moment and two of them were neutered yesterday (one male, one female). Unfortunately, their brother has reacted badly to them coming home. There has been no fighting so far, but a lot of growling, hissing, etc. I read some time ago that this can happen after they've been to the vet because they smell wrong. Is this right? I can't find the article again and I'm not sure I remember the solution. Do I need to invest in some Feliway or is their another way?

Thanks!
